[Botemps] It’s worth noting: there’s nothing in the new CBA restricting teams from paying to retain their own talent. Essentially, for teams that are going to be expensive, there will be a significant benefit/necessity to drafting and developing young talent.

Joey Lightyears might’ve actually been onto something with that 2 timelines plan who would’ve guessed
So does that mean the luxury tax won’t count against paying our guys Curry, Klay, Dray and Poole?
Man Bob & Joe need statues in the Bay Area they really had an inclination this could happen and nailed a lot of the picks recently to ease this BS CJ McCollum agreed too 🙌🏾
Ok then. Sign and/or draft a tall big man. Breathing too hard watching small ball. This year’s draft has some bigs that could fit in this team if we don’t go after a vet big.
I am confused. The conclusion does not logically follow the premise. “Nothing in the new CBA restricting…” does not necessarily mean that the new CBA allows paying home-grown talent as an exception to luxury tax rules (unless the previous CBS explicitly *disallowed* it?).
Tbh, I’ve been wondering if we’re ethically tanking 😂 Playing well enough to stay in the playoffs, but badly enough (on the road) to get the best possible pick as a playoff team. As it stands, we’d have the 19th / 20th pick.
